The Scout 2 Platinum has one door and a maximum center height of 3' 9, which is a little bit smaller than the average height of the 204 various 2 person tents we have examined With 25 square feet of room inside, it is considerably smaller than some other 2-person tents, and it would be quite cramped for you and, another camper during the 3-seasons, this tent is suggested for use in, smaller tents similar to this one generally make a really nice choice for people that welcome spending heaps of time outside of their tent exploring.

A few of the fantastic points about dome tents are, that they are under normal circumstances not too heavy, making them simple to carry around. In nearly all instances, tents used for backpacking are of the dome type. They are generally speaking, freestanding and very easy to set up. In calm weather, you can do without securing the tent with stakes and ropes, not that this is suggested.

Dome tents are without a doubt the most common of all the different sorts of tents you will see when camping. They tend to fair better in storms than other types, allowing rain to easily slide off the sloped sides, unlike cabin tents that have flat roofs, resulting in the rain pooling on the top. The most basic dome tent should have a square floor, sloped walls two or more poles which converge in the center of the roof. Because of the way they are made, it is usually considered that they are ideal for up to a maximum of 6 campers.
